India 2024

From October 15th till December 9th I continued my studies in India. Along with my teacher Kalamandalam Prabhakaran Ashan I repeated around 150 lines of Kalyāṇasaugandhikam and presented it at the Language Institut Weli in Kochi on November 21st as well as during the annual festival at Sree Poornathreyeesa Temple at Trpunithura on December 1st. After finishing the lines of Kunchan Nambiar I've presented 10 minutes of my translation into German language. I'm very happy and feel honored being part of the festival for the very first time. My program was supported from the German cultural institute  Goethe-Zentrum Trivandrum/Kochi - I am thankful for that. This temple is giving Thullal artists since many years a lot of support, on every day during the festival there are 3 different Thullal programmes shown. Kalyāṇasaugandhikam I performed for the first time in Kerala in December 1992.

Besides this my 7th translation of a Thullal story into German is finished and I made a recording of Harishchandra in a studio in Ernakulam with Praveen Prabhakaran (Mrdangam). From 2025 onwards I will perform Harishcandra Caritam in Germany.

Journey to India!

From October 7th till November 14th 2022 I've been again for study and research in Kerala. I was able to repeat a good part of the story of Puḷindῑ Mōkṣam in Parayan Thuḷḷal with my Ashan Kalamandalam Prabhakaran and present it at Kerala Kalamandalam University within the 65th Anniversary Celebrations of the Department of Thuḷḷal on October 29th. Besides this I gave a little demonstration in German language as well.
